[expert] A clue about proper ESD startup, anyone?
I've had this problem for ages. No one seems to know what the answer is; not even the Enlightenment mailing list crowd. For one thing, when I'm playing around with installing LM81, sometimes an LM81 install will start esd (the enlightenment sound daemon) up by itself. At other times, like now, I get an install that does not bring up the sound. Can anyone give me a clue as to where Mandrake starts up esd in a factory configuration? I can start the daemon manually under root and stuff works. But I consider this h@lf-@ssed. I'd like to know how the distro gurus configure the config files to get the esd daemon up at startup. Esd.conf is there with stuff in it, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Syntax and examples would be nice. Anyone know? _ Do You Yahoo!?

[EMAIL PROTECTED] Your recipe looks ok, but you need to make sure that procmail is actually being called to process the mail. In your $HOME directory for the account which is doing the fetchmail fetch from your ISP, create a file called .forward and put this in it: "|IFS=' ';/usr/bin/procmail -tf- || exit 75" That will ensure that procmail runs and that it decides what to do with it before dropping it in your local mailbox. --Dave -- David Guntner GEnie: Just say NO! http://www.akaMail.com/pgpkey/davidg or key server for PGP Public key Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[expert] How to make kcdlabel work
Hi list, does anybody used kcdlabel and resolved the configure problem for it? It complains that the libQt version is not >=than 2.31 this is wrong for mdk 8.1. I thought it might be a good trick to link /usr/lib/qt2 -> /usr/lib/qt because the configure looks there, but I had no success. The homepage for kcdlabel: http://kcdlabel.sourceforge.net/ I could even ask for a hint at the homepage but thought that this list might be a good choice also. Or I'm wrong? By the way isn't there any other program ready for mdk that is able to print round cd-label? Thanks for reading...

Re: [expert] A clue about proper ESD startup, anyone?
The answer should be to put it in .xinitrc (this works on SuSE 7.3), but Mandrake does it differently. This is the same problem with starting xscreensaver on login.

I'd be ecstatic if you could let me know about your network escapades regarding Baldur's Gate 2. I'm dying to know if that part of it is working ok. I've got another machine here, but it's going to take me a bit to get that system up and configured on the net. I guess I'm assuming that you yourself have more than one linux box already. Is that right? Anyways, good luck with BG2. You might be interested to know that there's a guy on Transgaming that got Icewind Dale to work too; even though that is considered technically to be an "unsupported" game.

Re: [expert] rtl8139 based network card
Well I hoped that editing rc.local and including the line ifup eth0 would work but it didn't. All I got was : Delaying eth0 initialization which is the same message I get at boot time. If I try to run Harddrake and select network device cards then my card is seen. If I elect to configure it I get the message : Modprobe : Can't locate module eth0 If I run Mandrake control center and select Network & internet and then connection then in the right hand pane on the line which says status disconnected and has a button labeled connect clicking on that button does connect me and I can surf and ping to my hearts delight :-) until I re-boot and I am back to square one. It does not seem to matter if I apply the settings or not. Once it is running cat/proc/interrupts shows the card assigned irq10 cat /proc/ioports shows various outputs Help!!! please before I go mad norm

Re: [expert] USB Modem
I have a similar problem. I've got a USB serial interface with the FTDI 8U232AM USB to serial converter chipset and an external modem. I've been trying to get the modem to talk to the converter for a long time now; no progress. I can talk to the modem with minicom, but when I dial out, it starts the PPP connection and then just goes braindead. If I put it back on a standard 9 pin serial connect it works fine. Seems to be an issue with the status of one of the serial lines. Sure do wish I could deactivate those wasteful standard serial ports.

Re: [expert] no job control errors during compile src.rpm
One of the things I found is that sometimes it's better to download the necessary RPM's into the same directory and then install ALL the rpm's from the command line (i.e. rpm -Fvh *.rpm) rather than using rpmdrake.

Re: [expert] USB Modem
Well...at least I don't feel as alone in this situation as I did before. The only thing I know to do is to install a breakout box in the normal serial line with the external modem, and record what's going on with the lights. Then, attach the breakout box to the USB serial interface and hook the modem up to that, noting the differences. Have you tried that? Or is your modem the type that connects directly to the USB bus?

Exactly HOW are you running fetchmail? I assume that you're either running it from a shell directly, or periodically via a cron job. If from the shell, how are you logged in at the time that you run fetchmail? Are you logged in as skippi or another user? If via a cron job, which user created the crontab entry for that job? skippi? root? Something else? /var/mail is simply a soft link to /var/spool/mail, BTW. Look in /var/spool/mail.

Re: Re: [expert] fetchmail / sendmail -- still no love, i got more work to do
howdy -- I wasn't going to reply until I got the time to experiment more, but since you asked good questions & I can answer them easily I'll bang this out. I am running fetchmail as the user (skippi) not as root. I am running it either by typing "fetchmail" at the prompt or via pygmy, which simply calls fetchmail (if I start pygmy from an Eterm I can watch the fetchmail output in that terminal. /var/spool/mail and /var/mail were both empty. I recently used touch to create an empty file called skippi in /var/spool/mail as that was a suggestion I received. when I start up the computer I see the messages: starting postfix starting sendmail Now, should I have both of those running?

[expert] [kind of OT] Bug of the CD-RW, poor hardware problem or just a bad configuration?!?!?!?!?!?
Hi buddies! This thread may sound quit strange but it is the last and the only source from which I could have an answer. The trouble is: I have a HP 9300 CD-RW 8x4x32 with a Celeron Pentium II 266 Mhz and a Seagate of 40 gb of 5600 RPM, I can CREATE cd's without any problem [*Only in LINUX* due to in Windows I get a "buffer underrun" error]. So, the fact is: In both Windows and Linux I CAN NOT make cd-to-cd copying by any way. No matter how hard I've tried, I couldn't. The only result I get is the ejection of the Burner with a considerable amount of lost cd's. Furthermore, recently I visited the HP cd recording website when they showed the release of the latest Burner with a "buffer underrun" bug solved. So, I am among three possibilities : Bug of the CD-RW, poor hardware problem or bad configuration. I want to know what are your experiences about this kind of problems Bye!!

[expert] vim and tilde
!, Seems as though vim is leaving temporary files whenever I edit anything ie: I edit 'test.txt' and it leaves 'test.txt~' in the current directory, no matter what I do. Anyone know how to fix this?

[expert] Motherboards - again
The recent discussions of motherboards has raised a question with me. There is always lots of chat about the mid to upper end mobos, but what about the lower end? If I were to put together a budget box, that could still run Linux, and be useable, what mobos would you experts recommend? This is really just a curiosity question. Not everyone can afford to build a box based on the Soyo Dragon+, they may want something resulting in a box half that price. So drag out your calculators, and lets see what can be built on budget hardware (must be current stuff. No 486 boxes).

Re: [expert] Motherboards - again
Here's mine. Asus TUSL2 mobo with a Celeron 950mhz CPU This allowed me to keep my ram and PCI cards and at the same time the onboard video gives me 3d accel in XFree864.x If I didn't already have an SB live it also has onboard sound. Runs fine... Fast enough for what I do. and came in at around 200.00 US for the mobo and cpu.

Re: [expert] vim and tilde
add this line to your "$HOME/.exrc" file set nobackup in vim or gvim, try the foll command for more info help backup a word of advice though, if you are doing any sort of coding and are turning off this feature of autobackups, please use some sort of version control, so that you can roll back to previous code in case you make a mistake and then save that file. i speaketh thus from my past experiences.
